All about ecoticias.com

ECOTS.com has positioned itself as a reference in environmental information. How has the concept of «The Green Newspaper» evolved from its inception to the present day?

When I started, we were pioneers, discussing topics in 2004 that were not on the public’s radar, as the environmental «assault» was largely ignored as a problem. There was little awareness of the environment back then.

I was one of the few media outlets that warned about the Triple Planetary Crisis over 20 years ago. Ecoticias.com has been The Green Newspaper since 2004, informing thousands of readers daily on environmental issues, reaching over 22 million readers per month and up to 34 million visits per month, surpassing even mainstream averages in acceptance and impact.

In a time where misinformation is a global issue, how do you ensure that the content published on ecoticias.com is accurate and reliable?

At Ecoticias.com, we are meticulous in verifying the accuracy of our news and ensuring that the sources we draw upon are reliable and based on science. Our writing and editing team puts in a great deal of effort.

By digging deep and exploring different angles, the truth always prevails. This principle applies to anyone with a modicum of common sense. Falsehoods, lies, and falsehoods crumble in the face of informed truth seekers.

Climate change is one of the world’s greatest concerns. From your perspective, what areas have seen the most progress and what are the biggest challenges?

The significant progress lies in the fact that the vast majority of people today are aware of the very serious issue of climate change, its purely anthropogenic origins, and the warnings about its consequences, echoed by ecotics.com, that scientists and experts issued years ago were not exaggerated.

We must find ways to address these consequences effectively. Finding synergies to mitigate them and silencing climate change deniers who not only contribute nothing but exacerbate the issue.

Renewable energies have seen a significant rise in recent years. Do you believe we are close to achieving a 100% sustainable energy model? What barriers need to be overcome?

Renewable energies have always been there. What’s lacking is the realization that the burning of fossil fuels led us to the climate and biodiversity crisis we are immersed in.

There are still significant economic pressures and policies that need to be surpassed to ensure a 100% sustainable energy model. Additionally, the entire process must be environmentally friendly and nature-conscious.

We need a different, more humanistic, and less destructive perspective. Our comfort is not more important than that of the other living beings we share this blue planet with. Personally, I believe it is achievable.

Recycling and waste management remain key subjects in many countries. How do you view the evolution of the circular economy and the role citizens play in this process?

The circular economy applied to the waste issue is an excellent management tool, as long as it is done correctly and efficiently. It educates waste generators not only about the dangers of improper disposal but also about the responsibility each person has in generating waste and the importance of being part of the solution rather than just the problem.

There is a growing interest in organic foods and sustainable production. How does responsible consumption influence the fight against climate change and CO₂ reduction?

Organic foods prevailing over the agro-industry could have significant implications in combating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The absence of pesticides or agrochemicals in organic foods has invaluable contributions to human health and the environment. Since we live in a vast ecosystem called Earth, every negative action impacts all beings that inhabit it. Therefore, eating healthily and consuming locally sourced products is one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves and the planet.

The connection between nature and human health is increasingly documented. How do you believe we can foster a more harmonious relationship between cities and the environment?

At Ecoticias.com, we understand that a «green» product must be transparent, certified, and, of course, feasible. We cannot tolerate false advertising from products that try to pass off as something they are not, such as «greenwashing» or «Eco-posing,» a prevalent issue that needs serious attention to avoid confusing consumers.

Nature needs to reclaim cities. We have fallen into a cement-based selfishness, when, in fact, our children deserve a nature-filled environment, and this is the path we should be on. We need more trees, more plants, more urban wildlife, and it is in our hands to make this a reality.

Environmental journalism does not always receive the same level of attention as other news sectors. How can specialized media outlets, like ecoticias.com, expand their impact and reach a broader audience?

Being «independent» based on science, as well as traditions and personal experiences. We are the media, and that is what we must do: Communicate and inform without biases, even if the «truth» often does not sit well with the «powers that be».

Regarding legislation and public policies, what are the most important regulations that should be promoted to ensure a more sustainable future?

I won’t delve into political issues, but I reiterate my belief that all political actions must be backed by scientific evidence.

Looking ahead, what are the next challenges and goals for ecoticias.com to continue being a reference in environmental information?

We recently launched an English version, Eco News, which has enabled us to reach a global audience, especially in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. We gained millions of new users due to this English version of Ecoticias.com.

The role of mass media in combating climate change and promoting sustainability is crucial. Ecoticias.com is a key platform for disseminating rigorous and relevant information on current environmental challenges. Through bold initiatives like this, we foster a necessary dialogue that contributes to building a more sustainable and balanced future.
